My Goals 2016

Term 3 (Extended in Term 4)
Term 4 2016
Term 4 was full of learning and activities.We had lots of things going on at Riverslea and around. We had an awesome Duffy Role Model Assembly with Mary Kippenberger and Peter Charlton Jones. We also had the School Cross Country and also did lots of Play based learning to try to learn to share and cooperate and work together. We went to the A and P Show as well as visited Barnadoes Preschool and the Riverslea Community Preschool, who also visited us. We loved Skipping and Jump Rope for Heart. The trip to Napier and the Aquarium was fun. We had the School Prizegiving and made up our own song “The 12 Days of Riverslea Christmas”\ We are all looking forward to Xmas and Next year (Mrs B )
I have gone past my goal for Reading and have gone up 4 levels in reading this year. I am just starting Level 4 which is at National Standard for my age. I am just about to start Stage 2 Maths which is at National Standard and have gone up from Stage 0 to the beginning of Stage 2 this year. ( Started end of May) I am at 1B and am just at National Standard for writing. Arnold
August/Sept
We are still learning and being involved in lots of activities. Our Inquiry has been about the Rio Olympics 2016. We learnt a lot about different countries and different sports. We each had our own country at the Olympics. Harmony’s country USA came first with the most medals. They got 116 medals ( 43gold, 37 silver, 36 bronze). Te Orihana came 2nd with Great Britain who got 66 medals. Kadyn had NZ who got 18 medals (4gold, 9 silver and 5 bronze). We also watched some of the ParaOlympics which made the students aware of different disabilities and how people use ways to overcome them to win medals eg Blind cyclists and runners and swimmers with only 1 leg. We had our own school Olympics which the students loved. They also got medals. Participation for the tabloids and Gold, Silver ,Bronze for the age races. It was well supported by whanau. All students have made great progress, some being a year above in Reading and 6 months above in Writing and Maths. This term Room 1 has also been involved in a NZ wide programme for Junior classes called #NZReadAloud. We connect with other classes around NZ (10 in all) from Auckland to Dunedin and share our ideas, art work, writing etc on a blog. It is all related to a common chosen book that we are all reading to our class. It is called A Booming in the Night By Ben Brown , a NZ author. As usual we are busy with Fitness and Kiwi Can skills and games. This Term we are learning about Cooperation (Whanaungatanga) with Matua Rocky and Whaea Cass. We have had ‘Getting started’ again T3 with a council funded programme on fitness and coordination skills. We have had Whaea Toni and Matua Julian this term. Grandparent’s reading with the Rotary Grandparents every Friday has continued. Some of us go and read to them for 15 minutes each. They help sponser our Duffy books. We had a Role Model Assembly with Mary Kippenberger (storyteller) and Peter Charlton-Jones (musician) and got our Duffy books for the Term.We also had 2 Role Models form Karamu High come to talk to use about being leaders. We were lucky to have Mr Kevin a Preschool Teacher volunteer time 2 days a week for most of the term. He fixed all of our school bikes for us. The children are loving being out on the bike track again. Whaea Monique (Student Teacher from last year) also volunteers in the classes 2 days a week. It is great to have her skills and empathy with the students. Another highlight for the students was a visit from 2 Magpies Chris Eaton and Matt Garland. They talked to the students about being role models and then took them for games. They loved the Touch Rugby. It has been another awesome term for Miharo (Room1).
I like the Bike Track and Getting Started.
I got a silver medal at the Olympics in running. I liked Touch Rugby with the Magpies.

June/July
June and July were also busy months with 2 weeks holiday in July for the end of Term 2. We are all still making awesome progress in Reading, Maths, Story-writing and Inquiry. Some students have gone up several levels in Reading and they, and others, moved up stages in Maths and Writing as well. In Inquiry we are learning about the Olympic Games in Rio in Term 3. We loved our Inquiry about Flight and learnt a lot. We always have some great questions to find out about in our wonderings. We have fun finding out the information.

We like Grandparent’s reading with the Rotary Grandparents every Friday. We just had a Duffy Theatre performance about Time Travel and got our Duffy books for the Term. It was great fun. We also had lots of learning with our class buddies and our school buddies too. We had Irene Van Dyke a famous NZ Netballer come to speak to us. She was very tall (6ft 3 inches). She gave us all a bag from Netball Hawkes Bay and some balls for our PE gear. Paora came from the Council to help us set up a new worm garden. We got to hold the worms. They were slimy. We also had Todd and Nathan from the Army come and teach us how to march and do push ups. We are Miharo too.We are awesome

Arnold is beginning to make some progress in Reading, Writing and Maths. He is trying a little bit harder with his behaviour in class but is still unsettled much of the time. He enjoys mixing with the other students in the class, but likes to get his own way. He will not always join in the activities inside and outside the classroom. He likes to do what he wants to do We will keep working on his behaviour and his learning together. My goal is to keep him at National Standard in Reading Writing and Maths and engage him in learning as well as make him school ready to learn as well as settle with behaviour. (Mrs B)

Arnold just started school 16th May but has been visiting for several weeks. We are all making awesome progress in Reading, Maths, Story-writing and Inquiry too.

They are up on our Inquiry wall for everyone to keep looking at and thinking about. As usual we are busy with Fitness and Kiwi Can skills and games. This Term we are learning about Resilience (Taikaha) with Matua Rocky and Whaea Cass. We love Kapa Haka with Whaea Manaea and Matua Justin on Thursday mornings for 40 mins. We are learning lots of waiata. We like Grandparent’s reading with the Rotary Grandparents every Friday. Some of us go and read to them for 15 mins each still. They help sponser our Duffy books.
